2015 Story Vineyard Zinfandel

Tasting Notes

At 102 years old, the Story Vineyard is another iconic vineyard that we are fortunate enough to work with. From the start, bright and focused with Bing cherry and dried cranberry on both the nose and palate. Full throttle, it’s a cauldron of blueberry, dark chocolate, dry aged tobacco leaf and umami, where all of these aromas and flavors play equal roles in the symphony. Not for the faint of heart, this is a big wine, no doubt, but it has a soft, seductive magnetism with a cascade of fresh red fruit and firm yet approachable tannins. Definitely a cellar selection. Drink now thru 2030.
